If I am going after someone, I will go 100 percent- Yashasvi Jaiswal On His Battle Against James Anderson
Yashasvi Jaiswal was having an interaction with Indian Express. Yashasvi Jaiswal disclosed his strategy against James Anderson like how he smashed back to back sixes against the veteran pacer. Yashasvi Jaiswal pointed out that the youngsters had decent red ball practice in the prestigious Ranji Trophy before outplaying England in the 5 Test match series.
“Those shots were in my mind. I knew I could hit James Anderson when I got set. It was in my mind that when I’m on top of my game, I will get him. Get him in the sense, not only him, but any bowler. If I’m going after someone, I will go hundred percent. Some have been playing IPL for quite a while. All have played Ranji Trophy games, many didn’t have international game match experience but had decent experience behind their back,” said Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, a One Man Army
It won’t be wrong to say that Yashasvi proved to be the surprise package for Britishers who not only under-estimated him but at the same time, they treated him like a brat which didn’t work well for the visitors.

It will be interesting to see how long skipper Rohit Sharma plays for India who is in his late 30s. Rohit Sharma would be keen to end his Test career by winning the ICC WTC 2023-25 as earlier under his leadership, the side was bamboozled by Australia in the previous cycle of WTC. We should not forget that India’s middle order was highly inexperienced but still they played out tricky phases and won the match for the team.
